BIA measurement at AIVA in Berlin – Bioelectric Impedance Analysis

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

A long, healthy and vital life: who wouldn't want that? Longevity is one of the most important issues of our time and is also a central concern for many people who visit our institute. We support them on their journey to greater well-being and a healthier lifestyle. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which is often carried out as part of a medical check-up, helps us gain detailed insights into your personal body composition and customise treatments for you. Based on the results of the BIA measurement, our specialists in Berlin develop personalised health strategies to sustainably improve your quality of life – because longevity is more than just a trend.

How Does the BIA Measurement Work?

At AIVA in Berlin, bioelectrical impedance analysis is a frequently used method for determining a person's body composition. It measures the body's electrical resistance (impedance) by passing a harmless, weak electric current through it. Muscles and water conduct electricity better than fatty tissue, so that the resistance can be used to draw conclusions about the respective tissue components in the body.

You step onto the BIA scale barefoot so that the built-in electrodes can pass the electric current. The device then transmits detailed information on body composition within just a few seconds, enabling our experts to develop personalised advice and therapy concepts for you.

AIVA uses the BIA scale from Seca. The special feature: Seca is the only manufacturer in the world to offer a measurement of skeletal muscle mass that is almost as accurate as an MRI scan – the accuracy is 97 percent compared to an MRI examination. This spares you the potentially uncomfortable experience of an MRI scan.

BIA Measurement at AIVA in Berlin Provides the Following Values

The results of the BIA scale go far beyond simple body weight. The most important values determined include:

Body fat percentage: Having a healthy body fat percentage can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and metabolic disorders.
Body water percentage: Organs can only be optimally supplied with water if there is sufficient water to begin with.
Muscle mass: Muscles are crucial for strength, mobility and metabolic activity.
Visceral fat: Having too much fat around the internal organs can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Phase angle: As an indicator of cell health, phase angle shows how well the cell membrane is functioning. A high phase angle indicates good cell health and high muscle mass, whereas a low value may suggest cell damage caused by illness, malnutrition or dehydration.

Customised Health Strategies at AIVA

While the pure BIA measurement can be carried out in pharmacies, our experts are there for you after the bioelectrical impedance analysis with personal advice and the development of customised supplementary services. This is important because, while the results will tell you what possible risks exist, they will not tell what you can do to reduce these risks.

Your team of specialists at AIVA in Berlin offers further measures that go beyond the BIA measurement and help promote your well-being and long-term health. Thanks to our holistic approach, we combine treatments with different focal points to get your body back into top shape, both inside and out.

After the BIA Measurement: Counselling, Therapy, Regeneration

After the BIA at our institute in Berlin, we take time to discuss the results with you, whereas after a bioelectrical impedance analysis in the pharmacy you are left to your own devices with values than can be difficult to interpret for non-professionals. Furthermore, our specialists do not just rely on the figures alone, but also look at your general state of health and vitality in order to develop optimal treatment approaches. The BIA measurement can be done independently or as part of a comprehensive medical check-up, which includes an ECG, blood pressure and oxygen measurement and a blood test.

Depending on your initial BIA measurement values, we will support you with regenerative and preventative medicine.

Nutritional counselling:
A balanced ratio of muscle mass, body fat and water is essential for long-term health and a positive body image. With personalised nutritional advice, we can help you break bad habits and adopt a healthier diet.
Longevity counselling:
Our experts in Berlin use the results of your BIA measurement to derive measures that can help you lead a healthier lifestyle – and ultimately live as long and healthily as possible. We will advise you individually.
Vitality analysis:
Does your body possibly feel older than you actually are? Our vitality analysis goes beyond the bioelectrical impedance analysis and reveals your biological age and any deficiencies in your body, which we can compensate for with IV drip therapy, for example.
Cardiovascular screening/cardiovascular check: Cardiovascular diseases are among the most common illnesses and the leading cause of death worldwide. Depending on the BIA results, an adapted screening for cardiovascular risk markers follows, including extended cardiac diagnostics using cardiac ultrasound, stress tests and other examinations.

Holistic Advice for Healthy and Beautiful Aging

Getting older is a natural part of life that cannot be avoided. However, everyone can determine how they age. Prevention and regular health monitoring make it possible to identify disease risks at an early stage and minimise factors that can put a strain on the body. At AIVA in Berlin, BIA measurement is just one of many tools we use to promote longevity, which we combine with personalised services to help you.
